This story is a prime example of why I have no confidence in this guy. I read this a week ago and its been on my mind since. He bows to foreign leaders, returns gifts to our allies and gives them worthless DVDs, and doesn’t know when to leave or when to stay. To top it off, he then met with his war council… whoa!
Talk about being classless, clueless and in over your head:
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (November 23, 2009)
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is getting used to leaving events before they end – even when he doesn’t have to.
Obama on Monday mistakenly left a White House ceremony honoring two activists’ work in Zimbabwe. After finishing his remarks in the East Room, he walked with first lady Michelle Obama into the grand hallway across the main floor of the Executive Mansion.
He returned a moment later, a bit sheepishly.
He said with a laugh, “I’m allowed to stay.” Then he added, “I never know what I’m allowed to do.”
Obama left when he had finished presenting the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award. His war council met a short time later to discuss options for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
